Engrossing New Spin on the Zombie Genre

Rating: 9/10 (20 November 2009)

28 Days Later is a revolutionary film about a virus that is accidentally released in England called Rage. Rage is a virus that turns a human being into a psychotic monster called an Infected. The film focuses on a group of survivors trying to make sense of the epidemic that they are faced with.
The cast is top-notch, you have Cillian Murphey (Red Eye, Batman Begins) and Naomi Harris (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest) and some other people I will fail to mention. The movie is also directed by Academy Award-winner Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire). The movie has strong performances, and some very suspenseful scenes.
This is basically a more realistic version of George A. Romero's zombie series. 28 Days Later is heavily inspired by other horror classics, such as Day of the Dead (1985). The movie also has beautiful cinematography and some amazing shots of deserted London. It was filmed in digital video.
I have to say that I really enjoyed this movie.
9/10
